they are, the little devils. Here, hold my stuff for a minute so I can look these puppies over.” She shoved her lotion, deodorant and toothbrush into his hands.
    Panic swelled within him. “Look, you don’t need those things. I’m telling you, we are not—”
    â€œOh, these aren’t for you .”
    â€œThey’re not? ” The conversation had gone from bad to worse.
    She studied the packages hanging on the display rack. “Not unless you change your mind.”
    â€œI won’t, so let’s just go, okay?” He glared at a teenage kidwho was lingering nearby, obviously enjoying the show. The kid grinned and left. Noah lowered his voice. “Come on, Keely. Forget this stuff.”
    She ignored him. “These prices are really reasonable. Maybe I should stock up. You’d think men would look for inexpensive stores like this, but no. They like to be spontaneous, which usually means paying top dollar because they’re in a rush. Or worse yet, suggesting we skip this step. Ha. As if.”
    He tried again. “All things considered, I don’t think you really need to worry about—”
    â€œI make it a habit to have some on hand in a couple of sizes, for emergencies. And we’re here, after all. I really can’t imagine a better bargain coming along anytime soon.” She took a package from its hook and began reading. “‘Ultra-comfort. Unique shape for more freedom.’ I wonder what that means?”
    â€œKeely.”
    â€œ Noah ,” she mimicked. “Hmm. Maybe these are better.” She unhooked another package. “It’s so hard to know which ones are the best, with all these great descriptions—‘shared sensation, enhanced pleasure, ultimate feeling.’ Oh, look. Here’s one with a larger tip, and then there’s the ribbed kind. Which do you think is the best?” She turned to look at him, a package of condoms in each hand, and devilment shining from those green eyes.
    He ground some more enamel off his back molars. “Keely Branscom, you are doing this on purpose.”
    â€œOf course I am! I always budget money for a package of condoms.”
    â€œYou’re trying to get me going, is what you’re doing.”
    â€œFrom the way you’re breathing, I’d say I’ve succeeded.” She grinned. “I really am buying the condoms, Noah. At least two packages of extra-large. And I’m giving you a chance to tell me which kind you like.”
    His jaw was clenched so tight his teeth seemed welded together. “We are not going to need them.”
    â€œMaybe not. But that’s the thing about condoms. Thepackages are small and they store well. And there could be a time when you will thank me for planning ahead. Now give me my stuff. It’s time to check out.” She took her items from him and sashayed down the aisle with her lotion, her deodorant, her toothbrush and two kinds of extra-large condoms.
    She obviously expected him to be wearing them before the weekend was over. It was a classic case of damned if he did and damned if he didn’t.

    K EELY HAD JUST LAID her purchases on the checkout counter when her cell phone rang from deep inside her shoulder purse. Damn . She’d forgotten about it.
    She wheeled away from the counter, startling the young male clerk. “Forgot something!” she called over her shoulder to Noah, who, fortunately, was trailing her by a few paces. She figured he was embarrassed for the clerk to notice that she was buying condoms so he’d hung back from approaching the counter. Good thing. Maybe he hadn’t heard her cell phone.
    It rang again as she made a mad dash for the aisle labeled Feminine Products. If Noah had been schizy about the condom display, he surely wouldn’t follow her there. Once she was safely surrounded by rows of tampon and sanitary-napkin boxes, she dug in her purse and took out the
